Read that as pisstake, been watching too much British comedy lately I think.

I posted a couple things there early on but I’m generally terrible at documenting my work do there’s a decent back log of things I should share.

Thanks for getting that going way back, it was a nice place while it lasted.

Haven’t seen an open Dairy Queen locally in almost 10 years.

I don’t know about you, but I quit doing that soul crushing work as soon as I could something I really loved.

If you were tall, it was more like an abusive relationship.

It’d smash you in the head, ear or shoulder before hugging you. And if you unhooked the shoulder belt it would yell at you the whole time.

Unless the democracy has systemic flaws that allow it to be captured by minority rule, and that minority voting block disenfranchises enough of the opposition to take all power from the majority.

This wasn’t a democracy in anything more than name before the election.

We were just in Vermont and Burlington had a lot of no-mow zones and lots of butterfly gardens in the areas we biked.

We saw a lot of monarchs earlier (seemed more than previous years) in the summer too, but it got super dry and we haven’t seen as many lately. And also our observations are purely anecdotal and unscientific.

There were “shadow bands” that looked like wavy ripples starting around then too, and for a few seconds afterward too.

But OP’s point about non-totally is pretty accurate. It’s a little chilly, a bit like overcast, and you can’t look at it without eye protection until totality.

When we were at the 2017 eclipse it was warmer and we watch the bugs come out and birds roost/land on the nearby lake.

Yup moved to moose country later on and are super tall. I skidded to a stop in front of one on a dark night and it was facing away and just looked like a tall person standing in the road.

It looked back at us, then climbed straight up a quite steep embankment into the woods.

The dangers in hitting them is that you knock the legs out from under them and they land on your roof and crush you.

In in the UP, first time hunters often don’t know the difference between caribou and deer.

The supply shops find out when the hunters come back asking for help because the buck they bagged is too heavy to move. (They’re 500 lbs or more instead of the 100-200 lbs of a white tail)

Must be in therapy for self esteem problems.

That’s NYC’s Mayor you’re thinking of.

NYs Governor was a Democratic state rep and lieutenant governor for Cuomo (which hasn’t aged well, but is nothing like that dipshit mayor Adams).

If the filament is humid enough, sure.

I think upped popcorn still might be cheaper if you have an air popper. Way purest waste plastic and you can make a huge volume of the stuff in just a few minutes.

I know a guy who filled his friend’s Saab with popcorn during a prank war back in the 90s. It kinda ended the whole thing I think, and there was always more popcorn in that poor car.

I see your survivor bias and raise you my value engineering.

I was in whatsinthis when it started. I still have a shitpost up there that I’ve got an update for but never posted.

There was a MacBook 12 inch like this that my business partner loved. It would last all day on a charge and he was building our app with it (Xcode and I think clang builds).

This was 10 years ago though.

That one’s weird though, because they cherry pick the parts they like. So it’s a weird Baptist/catholic/born again bullshit.

He was half white, and male, 2/3rds of what appears to be necessary to win.

Not to mention the fact that it was 16 years ago when he was elected. I in college for the 2000 election and have been watching the slide since it was stolen. I told myself that we could swing back when Obama was elected, and thought we’d be ok last night too.

No, sadly, we probably need to stick to old white men. Just not as old as Biden was.
